IRISH Draught enthusiast Dermot Molloy partnered his own Two Mile Nigel to victory in the novice supreme championship at the Northern Ireland Festival in Cavan on Saturday night, the chesnut towering over the reserve champion, the Welsh Section B gelding Pine View Remeo.

Two Mile Nigel, a four-year-old ID gelding by the relatively little-used Welcome Diamond stallion King Vinny, was bred in Co Kerry by Jerry McMahon from whom Molloy bought the supreme champion as a foal. His dam is the 2012 Penmerryls Rhythm And Blues mare Two Mile Gretta.
